The company has been growing like crazy recently, more than doubling in size since its founding in 2012, when the company started with around 60 employees. As of April, it boasted about 168 employees and plans to grow by 30 percent from 2018 to 2019 and another 10 percent the year after that.

Montana Precision Products—an industrial- and aerospace-parts manufacturer located just outside Butte on Rick Jones Way—has plans to grow by 80 to 100 employees by 2020, says company general manager Chris Eurich.

According to Eurich, the expansion will be thanks to a new piece of equipment Montana Precision purchased last month from KEA Automation — a company from Telford, U.K., that makes automated systems for the casting industry.
